Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
26Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. 27And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”28But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
Satan entered into him - He had entered into him before, and now he enters again, to strengthen him in his purpose of delivering up his Master. But the morsel was not the cause of this entering in; the giving of it only marks the time in which the devil confirmed Judas in his traitorous purpose. Some have thought that this morsel was the sacrament of the Lord's Supper: but this is an utter mistake. That thou doest, do quickly - As if he had said: "Thou art past all counsel; thou hast filled up the measure of thy iniquity, and hast wholly abandoned thyself to Satan; I will not force thee to turn from thy purpose, and without this thou wilt not. Thy designs are all known to me; what thou art determined to do, and I to permit, do directly; delay not, I am ready."
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
after the sop Satan entered into him--Very solemn are these brief hints of the successive steps by which Judas reached the climax of his guilt. "The devil had already put it into his heart to betray his Lord." Yet who can tell what struggles he went through ere he brought himself to carry that suggestion into effect? Even after this, however, his compunctions were not at an end. With the thirty pieces of silver already in his possession, he seems still to have quailed--and can we wonder? When Jesus stooped to wash his feet, it may be the last struggle was reaching its crisis. But that word of the Psalm, about "one that ate of his bread who would lift up his heel against Him" (Psa 41:9) probably all but turned the dread scale, and the still more explicit announcement, that one of those sitting with Him at the table should betray Him, would beget the thought, "I am detected; it is now too late to draw back." At that moment the sop is given; offer of friendship is once more made--and how affectingly! But already "Satan has entered into him," and though the Saviour's act might seem enough to recall him even yet, hell is now in his bosom, and he says within himself, "The die is cast; now let me go through with it"; fear, begone!" (See on Mat 12:43). Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly--that is, Why linger here? Thy presence is a restraint, and thy work stands still; thou hast the wages of iniquity, go work for it!
John Gill Bible Commentary
And after the sop, Satan entered into him,.... After he had taken and eaten the sop, or crust of bread, by which he was pointed out to be the betrayer, "Satan entered into him"; possessed his body, and filled his mind, and stirred him up more eagerly to pursue with rigour his wicked design. The Jews have a saying (l), that "no man commits a transgression, until , "a spirit of madness enters into him".'' Such an evil spirit entered into Judas, which pushed him on to commit this horrid iniquity: then said Jesus to him, that thou doest, do quickly; this he said, not as approving his wicked design, and exhorting him to it as a laudable action, but rather as deriding him, having nothing to care about, or fear from him; or as upbraiding him with his perfidy and wickedness, and signifying that he should take no methods to prevent him, though he fully knew what was in his heart to do; and it seems also to express the willingness of Christ, and his eager and hearty desire to suffer and die for his people, in order to obtain salvation for them. (l) T. Bab. Sota, fol. 3. 1. Tzeror Hammor, fol. 112. 1. & 117. 3.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
13:27 When Satan entered into Judas (see Luke 22:3), Judas became an example of what happens to those who are consumed by the darkness. Satan uses such people as pawns in a wider struggle against the light. • Hurry and do what you’re going to do: In issuing this command, Jesus once again showed that he was in control, not human beings or Satan (see study note on John 7:30).

How Jesus Handled Money
By K.P. Yohannan1StewardshipGenerosityMAT 6:19JHN 13:27K.P. Yohannan emphasizes Jesus' teachings on money management, illustrating how Jesus prioritized spending for immediate needs and aiding the poor, as seen during the Last Supper. He highlights the misunderstanding of the disciples regarding Judas' actions, revealing that Jesus viewed money as a tool for the kingdom rather than personal gain. Yohannan challenges the modern mindset that equates income with personal lifestyle, urging Christians to pray about their spending habits as they do for charitable contributions. He critiques the double standard in financial decisions, both personally and within the church, advocating for a mindset that prioritizes God's work over personal pleasure. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a reevaluation of how we handle money in light of Christ's example.
You’ll Reap That Act
By E.A. Adeboye0ECC 8:11JHN 13:27ACT 5:1ACT 13:6ROM 1:18GAL 6:7E.A. Adeboye emphasizes the principle of sowing and reaping, highlighting that every action in life is like planting seeds that will yield a corresponding harvest. He warns against complacency due to delayed consequences of wrongdoing, citing Ecclesiastes 8:11. Many believers fall into the deception of thinking they can repent later in life, but examples from the New Testament show that consequences can be immediate, such as Judas, Ananaias, and Sapphira. Adeboye urges believers to sow good seeds and seek God's help in making right choices for a fruitful future.

Communion serves as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice, granting us victory over life's challenges. Adeboye highlights the significance of taking the Lord's Supper in the right manner, free from strife, unforgiveness, or sinful habits, to avoid desecrating the sacred act and instead receive blessings and preparation for heaven.
